Rated 5 out of 5Â by marylandboy give it more of a chance
I bought this thing as a joke to show people but my buddy talked me into using it and i couldnt be happier. I caught so many bass from 2plds to 5. They say it swims better when you take the back hook off which is true but you'll miss more fish. Some people say it swims with no action, but think of when a baitfish doesn't see the bass it doesnt let off a lot of comotion. A great retreive is to work it kinda like a jerkbait or stop and go. People just need to fish it more.

I got the XPS Z9R Mini Swimbait in the Shad color for my dad. We've only been able to use it once and that was at a little public pond called Dolese. We were out there for about an hour and a half with the fish jumping the whole time but none would bite it. Not sure if it was because it is repulsive to fish or they just weren't hungry.
This swimbait looked very realistic in the water! It's tail action is magnificent! The only complaint I have is that when you go to cast it out it might get tangled with the line. But I guess that happens with all lures! I will definately try my luck with it again.

This bait can be burned but i suggest burn it a couple of feet and stop it and add a few twitches to make it look like somethings wrong. also burning it makes it have a little bit of action in the tail kinda like a stiff softbody swimbait. so give it a couple of twitches and that should fire'em up.Answers

I wouldn't use weight - it would alter the action. they do sell lead tape that can be put on any bait. You may also solder some lead on the bottom of the bait.Details:Â

I've used the baby bass and gizzard shad and caught a ton of fish. I'm sure the bluegill pattern would work just as wellTop 25 Contributor

Best I have seen is the bass or rainbow trout.A:Â

Something in the Perch or Shad color has worked for me. Firetiger is also a good one.Top 1000 Contributor

A good alround color is the Bluegill because bluegills are a good bait source to bass around the country unlike trout or shad.Answers

They typically don't hold at any depth. the more line you let out, the deeper - They go down anywhere from 5-10 feet.1 of 1
